Hiya, I just finished a minor fit caused by trying to install the ADUS release of LaTex on a DN4500. It is using SR10.1 which causes some problems. Here is what I did, please let me know how to do it right. In /tex/lucid/build-programs1 : changed all occurances of -M3000 to -A nansi -A cpu,3000 Created links in /tex/web2c/cmdir to the appropriate .mf fonts (plain, U_Wash, cbase). Gave up when /tex/lucid/build-programs2 died a major death. How do I get the stuff to compile properly ? Has anyone actually got things to work ? Does anyone have a list of changes ? Actual makefiles or replacement files ? Please respond soon Maurice Sharp System Administrator / Research Associate Knowledge Science Labs University of Calgary sharp@cpsc.ucalgary.ca sharp@calgary.CDN E-MAIL : sharp@ksi.cpsc.UCalgary.CA EAN : sharp@calgary.CDN

First, I believe the SR9.7 executables and fonts shipped on the ADUS tape should continue to work, though suboptimally, on SR10.1. Second, all I had to do to build a TeX on SR10.1 was to change occurrences of "-M3000" to "-A cpu,3000" in build-programs1 and build-programs2. Perhaps using "-A nansi" is causing you problems. Finally, I am just putting the finishing touches on an updated TeX system built for SR10.1 on both 68020/68030 and PRISM machines. This version features include: o Compound executables built for both 68020/68030 and PRISM. o No longer needs "/sys/ins" files to build. o (i.e. Builds on a node without AEGIS installed.) o New versions of DVIAPOLLO and PXL2APOLLO that work with SR10.1 fonts. o 32-bit large capacity TeX's are the default. o Built from the latest versions of TeX, MF, LaTeX, etc. TeX runs very fast on the DN10000; the DN10000 also rebuilt all 906 fonts with MetaFont in just 6.5 hours!
